Hello. Please tell me, are there such Archangels in Christianity: Archangel Chamuel, Archangel Zadkiel, Archangel Jophiel? Thank you. Hope.

Priest Mikhail Samokhin answers:

Hello. Hope!

There are no Archangels with such names in Orthodoxy. Archangels Michael and Gabriel are mentioned in the canonical books of Holy Scripture. The apocrypha "Book of Enoch" mentions the Archangels Barahiel, Selaphiel, Yehudiel, Raphael, Uriel and Jeremiel. The names of the Archangels that you cite refer to Kabbalistic angelology, that is, in the doctrine of the Angels of the late Jewish tradition, which existed in parallel with Christianity.

Sincerely, priest Mikhail Samokhin.

Salvation History and Miracles of the Archangel Gabriel

Throughout the long history of human salvation, the Archangel Gabriel was famous for his miracles. It is believed that the memory of the Archangel Gabriel was installed on Mount Athos in the 9th century. The Archangel Gabriel appeared to the monks of Athos in a cell near Karei, where with his finger he wrote on a stone the song of the Most Holy Theotokos “It is worthy to eat.” This cell is still called “Worthy”.

• Archangel Gabriel also appeared to the Biblical characters - Moses, while he was guarding the flock. Archangel Gabriel told the chosen one of the Lord the secret of how our world was created. It was the words of the Archangel Gabriel that Moses recorded in the Book of Genesis. Biblical prophets usually proclaimed the will of God about the future, but Moses spoke about the events of the past.
• The Archangel Gabriel appeared to the prophet Daniel to announce the future Kingdoms, the coming of the Savior.
• The Archangel Gabriel came to St. Anna to say that she would give birth to a daughter, the Most Pure and Blessed, the Virgin Mary, who would become the Mother of our Savior.
• Many times the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary herself when She was in the Jerusalem temple. The high priest and prophet Zechariah learned from Archnagel Gabriel about the birth of John the Baptist. Punishment of the prophet with dumbness for distrusting the words of the Archangel, the appearance of the Blessed Virgin with the good news ... All these are stories about the Archangel Gabriel.

The angel, having entered to Her, said: Rejoice, Blessed One! The Lord is with you; Blessed are You among women. She, seeing him, was embarrassed by his words and wondered what kind of greeting it would be. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for you have found grace with God; and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and thou shalt bear a Son, and thou shalt call his name: Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of David His father; and shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom shall have no end.

The angel said to him: Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will call his name: John; and you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great before the Lord; he will not drink wine and strong drink, and the Holy Spirit will be filled even from his mother's womb; and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God; and he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to restore the hearts of the fathers to the children, and in the disobedient mindset of the righteous, in order to present to the Lord a people prepared.

• He also came to righteous Joseph in moments of doubt. He appeared before the shepherds at Bethlehem and appeared to the Lord Himself in the Garden of Gethsemane to strengthen Jesus before the coming sufferings. It was the Archangel Gabriel who appeared after and before the myrrh-bearing women: And early in the morning on the first day of the week, that is, on Sunday, when the sun was rising, they came to the Sepulcher. And they said to each other: who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us? And looking, they see that the stone has been rolled away; and he was very large. And going into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in white clothes; and were horrified. He says to them: do not be afraid. You are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene crucified; He is risen, He is not here. Here's the place where He was laid. But go, tell His disciples and Peter that He is ahead of you in Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you. And going out, they fled from the tomb; they were seized with trepidation and horror, and they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. Rising early on the first day of the week(on Sunday), Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he cast out seven demons. She went and told those who were with Him(that is, the apostles) crying and sobbing(Mark 15:46-47; 16:1-10).

Many miracles are associated with his name, which were also told by ordinary believers.

Archangel Gabriel was sent to the Lord Jesus himself to help, strengthen and support. This is a sign of the greatest trust of God the Father. Therefore, we can also apply with prayer requests to the Archangel Gabriel. If demons throw evil thoughts, then all good things come to us from the Lord through angels, to whom God has entrusted protection over people. The angels are telling the right decision, we call their voices “the voice of conscience”.

Iconographic images

On icons, the archangel Gabriel is usually depicted with a blooming branch of paradise or a lily flower. You can also find images with a spherical mirror in hand, and sometimes with a candle inside the lamp. Archangel Gabriel is often depicted on the northern doors of the iconostasis and is one of the shield holders on the Coat of Arms of the Russian Empire.

There is another image of him, preserved only in the earliest drawings. On them, the assistant of the Almighty is immortalized in a long robe, but he does not have wings or the usual halo. Similar drawings can be found in the catacombs of Priscilla in Rome.

Who is Archangel Gabriel

Gabriel is one of the two Archangels named in the Bible, the second is. In the Old Testament Book of Daniel, Gabriel appears to Daniel to help him understand his visions of the future. In the New Testament, Gabriel appears in the Gospel of Luke chapter 1, where he announces the coming birth of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.

When the archangel told Zacharias about his future son, he was amazed, because he believed that he and his wife Elizabeth were too old to have children. The archangel assures him ‘I, Gabriel, who stand before God and have been sent to speak with you and bring this good news to you’. Soon after, Gabriel appears to Mary and says ‘Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women’ and tells her about her future son Jesus Christ.

Gabriel is also mentioned in the non-canonical Book of Enoch as an intermediary between people and God. In Islam, the Archangel Gabriel reveals the Holy Scriptures of the Koran to the Prophet Muhammad. These biblical roles of Gabriel make him stand out as the chief messenger of God, which is why this Archangel is the patron saint of communications workers.

Artists at all times depicted the Archangel Gabriel, including in the scenes of the Annunciation with female features, with long hair in flying clothes and - if you take a closer look at his images of the Renaissance - with female figure. Perhaps the reason is that Gabriel is closely associated with female saints, their pregnancies and childbirth.

Of course, Angels do not have a clear gender division, since they do not have physical bodies. However, their energy can be feminine or masculine, depending on their specialty. — a prime example real male power. Gabriel, on the contrary, exudes soft, gentle feminine energy.

Archangel Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel are evangelists bringing great news. They convey to us the will of the Lord and prophecies to strengthen people's faith in God, and they are also enlighteners of minds with the light of the Gospel. Archangels reveal to us the secrets of pious faith. They are assigned to a special service and represent a reflection not only of the entire Trinity, but also of God himself. IN Orthodox Church on the same day they honor the Archangel Raphael, Michael and Gabriel. The heavenly host is a symbol of the main features of our Creator: beauty, reason and goodness.

Who are the archangels, their meaning in Orthodoxy

The Orthodox faith is distinguished by a number of traditions that have come down to our times from ancient times. The names of the archangels are found in Holy Scripture, where the structure of the entire system is explained. Even experienced theologians are not always able to decipher the biblical writings.

Studying the list of archangels, and getting acquainted with their divine appointment, it becomes clear that they are the leaders of the rest of the angels. When writing archangels on icons, artists pay special attention to their image, not even losing sight of minor details. They may turn out to be very important for our descendants. Each of the main angels is endowed with its own attribute - a trumpet, a sword and a spear, which are a kind of symbolism.

In the Orthodox faith, there are seven holy angels, whose names are known to almost all Orthodox. What does the number 7 mean, no one knows. The Bible says that only God knows this.

The archangels act as protectors of man and set him on the path of righteousness. Each of them performs certain functions.

The Church honors three archangels who have played a significant role in salvation history:

• Michael (in translation means “Who is like GOD”) - supports a person in the battle against evil and fights with fallen spirits.
• Gabriel (the name is translated as "Bol force") - carries news from the Creator for a person.
• Raphael (the meaning of the name is “God heals”) - was the guardian of the young Tobias and stands before the Lord.

A true Christian must remember the presence of invisible divine forces and feel the support of their activities. Only true faith gives the right to ask the Almighty and his assistants for help and protection. If a person is not ready to receive spiritual help, then the angels are not able to do this against his will.

Saint Archangel Michael

The leader of the heavenly host, under whose feet the defeated devil is depicted. He is the chief archangel in both the New and Old Testaments. In Scripture, he is called "the leader of the army." Michael is the main fighter in the fight against the evil that exists in the world. Saint George the Great believed that angels appear to a person when it is necessary to bring a message, and Archangel Michael - before the manifestation of the power of God.

When the angel Lucifer, the closest to God, moved away from him, going over to the side of evil along with his associates, Michael called on the remaining supporters of the Lord to fight against the tempted ones. The fallen angels with Lucifer were "expelled to hell".

Michael is depicted most often in the guise of a warrior with armor, with a spear in his hand or with a sword. He does not stop fighting for the glory of God and for people. In the Old Testament, he acts as the protector of the people of Israel, and in the New, all righteous Christians.

From ancient times, the Archangel Michael was loved and honored by believers. He accompanied the souls of the righteous and repentant to paradise, performed the ritual of washing the souls before they appeared before God. Michael was accompanied by the Virgin Mary through hell. She managed to contemplate the torment of the souls of sinners. On the day of the Last Judgment, Michael will pray to God for mercy on all those who have sinned. In Byzantium, many managed to be healed at the springs, on which churches were erected in honor of Michael. If you believe the Greek legends, then at the death of a person, the soul follows the archangel. It is Michael who guards against demons and accompanies souls to the Judgment of God.

Prayers to Saint Archangel Michael

The patron of the warriors who fought for the good, the Holy Archangel Michael, is revered as a protector from evil spirits, visible and invisible forces. It keeps a person's sleep and helps in the fight against sadness.

They turn to Michael, reading prayers:

1. About healing.
2. Upon entering a new home.
3. When lighting your own home.
4. About protecting the souls of the dead.

The ancient prayer to the Archangel Michael protects the believer from the touch of the devil, human evil intentions and flattery. Reading brings peace and confidence. A prayer is read to the Archangel Michael at the onset of a new day - at midnight. Throughout the day evil forces they will be powerless and will not be able to do harm. Archangel Michael will alleviate all troubles and the one who asks will feel protected all day long.

Holy Archangel Gabriel

According to the texts from the Bible, the Archangel Gabriel was chosen by God himself to notify a person that the son of the Lord had come to earth.

He is considered the patron of the young couples who want to have children. Gabriel is asked to conceive. He protects the woman and the unborn child during pregnancy.

Archangel Gabriel occupies the second place in the hierarchy. He patronizes a person whose work is connected with communication (journalists, psychologists, managers, etc.). The icon with his image is revered by the Orthodox Church. Depicted in rich robes, sometimes with a scepter in his hand and a crown on his head. The date of the celebration is celebrated after the Annunciation.

According to legend, Gabriel guarded the Virgin Mary and was sent by God to warn her husband about the king's plan to destroy all babies. The angel taught the forefather Moses to write books.

Prayers to the patron saint Archangel Gabriel

Gabriel's help is as follows:

• protects from troubles and adversities;
• protects against diseases;
• acts as a guiding star in life;
• heals from ailments and serious diseases;
• helps to overcome infertility and bear a healthy child;
• cleanses from frightening thoughts and not good feelings;
• relieves internal fears and various kinds of phobias.

Prayers to Gabriel help with depression and psychological deviations. You can ask him for love, faith, help in marriage. It is not necessary to look for separate prayers for each case. You can pray in your own words before the image. The main thing is to sincerely believe and Gabriel will definitely bless for what the request was about.

Archangel Gabriel prayers can be read not only by the priest. The request will be heard from the lips of a believer. The main thing is that faith and sincerity are present at the same time. You can read the prayer to the Archangel Gabriel at home, it is not necessary to visit a church or temple for these purposes. You need to put the image of the Saint in front of you.

Holy Archangel Raphael

Translated from Hebrew, the name Raphael is translated as "healing." The archangel is in 3rd place after Michael. Heals and reduces both mental and physical pain. They pray to him when problems arise regarding inner world, feelings and health. Archangel Raphael is prayed both for healing from ailments, and for the restoration of relationships or correction in any life situation. It is important to convey the problem correctly, because many do not know how to express their own thoughts, directing divine power in the wrong direction.

The Bible says that the Archangel Raphael imprisoned the fallen Azazel in the desert at the command of the Lord. He was punished for the craft given to man and corrupting him. He is assigned to guard fallen angels, who are among the mortals, like other archangels.

Raphael heals not only the body, but also the soul, and fights evil intent on earth. The book of Tobit says that he is the companion of his son, taking on human form. Raphael cast out the demon and healed blindness.

The archangel told mortals about the places where souls dwell before the Last Judgment. It was Raphael who gave the ring to King Solomon, intended to subdue the demons.

Prayers to Archangel Raphael

In the Orthodox Church, Archangel Raphael is:

• assistant to travel lovers and healers;
• patron of the sick spiritually and bodily;
• healer of ailments and spiritual wounds.

You can ask Archangel Raphael for help both for yourself and for relatives or spiritually close people. He will appear exactly where he is needed, and will help only those who firmly believe in God. If a person does not accept spiritual help, then Uriel needs to pray. Raphael is asked for the health of man and animal. The angel will help you choose the right path in treatment and prevent death.

Prayers to the Archangel Raphael will help overcome anxiety and worries. With their help, give up destructive tendencies that are harmful to health and restore the spiritual state. Prayers to Archangel Raphael will cleanse the home of dark entities and bad energy.
